A colleague was visiting New Orleans as her daughter is thinking about Tulane. She said to me, I can’t believe you could find such good food and good music in the same city. Welcome to our world. But a lot of the good food has been right here at the LaLa these days. The other day we had some shrimp and pesto linguini with fresh pesto made by my neighbor from the basil in her garden. Then my other neighbor caught some fresh trout and we made trout almondine. We took some kale and mustard greens and cooked them with Savoy’s turkey tasso – yum yum yum – then drizzled balsamic vinegar over the top – delicious. That’s not to mention the peaches from the Green Market with the custard. Those peaches are worth walking a mile for – so yum.<\/p>\n
Today Tin had polenta with lentils and kale and mustard greens – he ate it right up. Can’t get him to eat a piece of fruit to save our lives but he loves good food. (He does eat apple sauce and blueberries in his steel cut oats in the morning – but a real live piece of fruit gives him the vapors.)<\/p>\n
We eat good and real food at this house. \u00a0(And out – we took my colleague last night to Meaux Bar and had tuna tartare – big yum.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
